Chef's tip
Ground chicken is often leaner than ground pork and can dry out more quickly. When browning it, add a little oil if needed and keep the pan juices unless the recipe says to drain them. Cook just until it reaches 165°F (74°C).
2 tbsp fresh sage, finely chopped
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp black pepper
¾ tsp salt
1 tbsp avocado oil
1 medium apple, cored and diced (about 1 cup)

For the plantains

2 ripe plantains (yellow with black spots), peeled and sliced ½-inch thick on the diagonal
2 tbsp coconut oil
¼ tsp salt

For the eggs

4 large eggs
1 tbsp avocado oil

For serving

1 tbsp fresh sage leaves, whole (optional)
1 tbsp maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)

Instructions

1
In a large bowl, combine the ground pork, chopped sage, cinnamon, ginger, black pepper, and 3/4 tsp salt. Mix with your hands until the spices are evenly distributed throughout the meat.
2
Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned pork and cook, breaking it into small crumbles with a spatula, for 6–8 minutes until browned throughout with no pink remaining and an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Transfer the cooked pork to a bowl and set aside, leaving any rendered fat in the skillet.
